Chapter 1: The 15 Year old Professor

...

Standing in a train while looking around in awe is a young man of possibly fifteen or sixteen years of age. His hair is a pinkish red and his eyes were a deep chocolate brown. He wore a pale green suit with a red tie, and on his back was a large backpack with a number of items one would see while camping. There was also a long, strange wrapped stick that was longer than he was tall. His short hair was layered with the bottom layer pulled back in a short low ponytail. He stood at a generous 5'9". He looked at the numerous other passengers on the train and smirked. It was crowded, but in this situation that was just how he liked it. After all what hot blooded man wouldn't love being pressed up against the bodies of hot girls his age, especially hot, tall, well-developed girls his age.

'I think I went to heaven instead of Japan" he thought to himself as another girl stumbled into him pressing her assets against his chest.

"Oh Sorry" she said without looking.

"It's no problem at all" he replied in a light tone. His voice was a mild baritone that held a contained maturity. The girl looked at him and did a double take at seeing him. His face was rugged and angular giving him an almost regal look. He had a smirk on his face that showed amusement at her astonishment. She blushed in embarrassment as she wondered what it would be like to kiss him.

"What are you doing here? The only stops after this are to all girls schools" asked the girl curiously. She was tall at roughly 5'7", with red hair tied up into a high ponytail, with her bangs clipped to the side, revealing deep brown eyes. She wore the traditional uniform of the middle school, and had a camera around her neck. Her figure was well developed with wide hips a thin waist and generous E cup breasts.

"Well you see I actually have a job at the middle school. I'm supposed to be a teacher" replied the boy much to their astonishment.

"Wha? A teacher, but you can't be much older than us" said another girl.

"True, but I have a Bachelors degree in education, a Masters degree in English, and a Doctorate in psychology. All in all I'm suited to not only working as a teacher, but also as a councilor if I'm needed as such" said the boy making everyone in hearing range gape at the sheer insanity of how much he knows.

"Wow…Um…I'm Kazumi Asakura, from class 2A. I'm also known as 'The Mahora Paparazzi'" said Kazumi with a gentle smile.

"I'm Negi Springfield, also known as 'The Dancing Moon' (AN: This will be explained later.). It's very nice to meet you Asakura san, perhaps we will see each other around campus" said Negi as he shook her hand as best he could without accidentally doing anything indecent.

"Likewise" she replied as the doors to the train opened and everyone rushed out. Negi chuckled and looked for a way to avoid the crowds. Noticing how tall the buildings were he decided on a little self challenge. Quickly running to the wall he runs up it and jumps on to a flagpole sticking out of the building. Using his momentum he flips on to a window ledge where he continues to climb up at an amazing pace until he reaches the roof tops. Without pausing he sprints to the edge of the roof and leaps off, easily clearing a seven foot gap before landing with a roll and continuing running without breaking stride. He continued on for several more buildings before he jumped to another flag pole and flipped to a lower level before he jumps to the ground and rolls right in front of two more girls.

The first girl had long brunette hair and warm whiskey brown eyes. Her face had a cute, innocent aura about it. She was about average height standing at 5'3" with somewhat narrow hips but a thin waist and a medium B cup bust.

The other girl had long orange hair tied into two pigtails that had bells attached to them. She stood at a moderate 5'5". Her face was set in a determined look that didn't detract from the mild cuteness she had. Her eyes were heterochromatic, one being a steely grey and the other aquamarine. She was a little underdeveloped in terms of her hips, though she did have a modest B cup in the chest.

Negi barely took notice of them as he rolled to his feet and began running again leaving both of them in the dust.

"What was that all about Konoka" asked the orange haired girl to the other with a cough.

"I don't know Asuna. Though I heard from my grandfather he was hiring a new male teacher on today…maybe that was him" answered Konoka with a shrug.

"Well so long as he doesn't get in the way of me and Takahata sensei, I don't care" said Asuna as she and Konoka began running again to make sure they are not late to class.

...

(With Negi)

"Alright the Dean's office should be around here somewhere…Ah HA" he said to himself as he found the right room. He entered with a smile that faltered as he saw who else was in the room.

"Ah Negi kun please come in" said Konoemon with excitement as he saw the young man. Negi walked up to the desk, not even sparing a glance at the other person in the room and sat down in the proffered chair.

"Hello Konoemon san, I believe you wanted to see me before I begin teaching my class" said Negi.

"Yes, oh before I forget this is…" started Konoemon only to be cut short.

"I have already met Takamichi. We…do not have the best history together" said Negi somewhat crossly making Takamichi look ashamed while Konoemon raised an eyebrow.

"I trust this animosity will not impede your working together" asked Konoemon an extremely serious expression on his usually laid back face.

"Publically, no, however I would like to avoid Takamichi as much as possible otherwise. As I said we do not have good history" said Negi making Takamichi flinch at his tone. It was one of absolution, meaning that Negi still hated his guts for what happened. Not that Takamichi could blame him of course. Negi had almost lost his only family because of his (Takamichi's) carelessness. If it wasn't for a lucky break in the form of an unknown man, things would have turned out much worse.

"I believe this can be done, however, there will be some occasions that you will have to work with him behind the public's eye" said Konoemon.

"So long as they are few and far between that is acceptable. Is there anything else you wanted from me sir, or may I have my class roster so I may begin" asked Negi as the door opened again. He turned to see who it was only to end up with his face in the very generous bosom of a woman. Negi pulled back apologizing profusely while a light blush adorned his face. The woman had delicate tan eyes and dirty blond hair that reached just past her shoulders. She stood at 5'8" with the full hips of a mature woman, a tiny waist and a very generous H cup bust.

"Ah Shizuna chan, so nice of you to join us. This is our newest teacher Negi Springfield. I called you in to be his advisor for the time being. Please show him everything he needs to know" said Konoemon.

"Ah Shizuna san would you please wait for me in the hall, I have one more important item to discuss with the dean before I begin my duties. I will be as brief as possible" said Negi earning a confused look but a nod all the same. Once the door was closed he looked at Konoemon with a very serious expression.

"Sir, considering my circumstances, I think it would be wise to waive the usual taboo of student teacher relations. I need to find a partner and to do that I must go beyond the boundaries set up for teachers" said Negi making Konoemon think for a minute.

"…You have a valid point Negi…if I am to allow this I want no favoritism from you to any girl you have relations with. Also try to keep it as discreet as possible. The school of governors would have my head if they knew, though maybe it is time for a change" said Konoemon shocking Takamichi with what he was saying.

"I understand, though if anything I might be harder on them, just to give them a little push to better grades" said Negi as he got up.

"Wait, here. This is the class roster, I added my personal notes" said Takamichi handing Negi a book. Negi took it with a scowl.

"I care nothing for your opinions Takamichi, keep them to yourself" said Negi coldly as he left.

"What the Hell did you do to piss him off so much" asked Konoemon with a shiver. He had never seen anything like the hatred that Negi had for the man.

"It wasn't what I did. It's what I failed to do. The boy's father asked me to take care of him and his sister. They were doing fine for a while so I left them, at a very bad time. Not even a day after I left their village was attacked by demons. Many died, but worse than that were those turned to stone. Negi tried defending his sister, but was too weak at the time. She almost died. When I returned, Negi was absolutely furious with me and using more power than I ever knew he had blew me away. He swore that if I ever darkened their doorstep again he would leave nothing left of me. He never trusted me since, and I could never get within more than a mile without hurricane force winds buffeting me back. After a month of trying I came here. I had hoped that Negi would have cooled down about me by now, but instead it seems as if his hatred hasn't wavered in the slightest" said Takamichi with a single tear of regret running down his face.

"It sounds like Negi kun has a valid reason for his scorn of you. However one would think it would have mellowed by this time. There is something you're not telling me" said Konoemon.

"It's his father. Negi hates him even more than me, but knowing that I was his father's friend only made some of the hatred come right back to me again. The boy has been let down by everything linked to his father, with the exception of his sister" said Takamichi as he left the room in order to begin with the introductions to his new class.

...

(With Negi and Shizuna)

"I could see some animosity between you and Takamichi, anything you want to talk about" asked Shizuna as they strode down the halls.

"Not really. He and I have some bad history together. Some things happened that I cannot forgive him for. Some that he doesn't even know about, or just never thought of" responded Negi nonchalantly. He was attempting to keep his anger contained, considering Takamichi wasn't there.

"Well, just so long as it doesn't affect things too badly. So are you nervous about meeting your students" she asked changing the subject.

"In all honesty, I'm absolutely terrified. But I can't let that keep me from showing a strong front. After all if the teacher is confident the students will draw from that, and morale will keep up" said Negi while scratching the back of his head.

"I'm curious about what teaching style you will be using. Is it anything I know" asked Shizuna curiously.

"No, it's an experimental method that was approved by the dean before I arrived. If my class has success with this method it may even become main-stream" said Negi leaving it as a surprise.

"Well here we are. Be careful Negi kun, they can be a rowdy bunch" said Shizuna as she stood to the side. Negi nodded and opened the door slightly to see what was going on inside. He immediately noticed a tripwire in his path, a sure sign of a prank, meaning he should be on his guard. He opened the door fully noticing out of the corner of his eye an eraser falling. Moving quickly he catches it while simultaneously setting off the tripwire. The tripwire sent a bucket full of water falling towards him. Using one massive jump he dodged the bucket and barrage of plunger arrows, landing sitting on his desk with a smug look on his face.

"Hmm…critiquing the prank…the eraser is cliché, the water bucket was well placed but with bad timing, and the barrage of arrows could use a bit more oomph. Next time I would suggest making the bucket tip a few moments after the door opens instead of relying on the tripwire, and next time use a higher powered launcher for the arrows" said Negi to the stunned class.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry that was meant for our teacher" said a girl of about ten. She had short pink hair tied into two pigtails. She stood at about 5'0" and had mahogany brown eyes. Her figure was fairly flat with perhaps large A small B cup breasts.

"I am your teacher. Negi Springfield, at your service" he said as he stood up and did a bow. Most of the girls blushed at seeing him but one stood out from the others.

"Ahhh…I remember meeting you on the train" yelled Kazumi as she jumped to her feet and pointed at him.

"Oh Kazumi san, I didn't see you there, fancy meeting you here. I guess two meetings in one day is a rather interesting coincidence eh" asked Negi with a small smile making her laugh.

"I guess so. So sensei, tell us about yourself. I'm sure the entire school is dying to…" she started to say only to be interrupted by Asuna.

"HOLD IT, YOU MEAN THIS PIPSQUEAK IS REPLACING TAKAHATA SENSEI" she yelled in outrage, as if the sheer audacity was an affront to god.

"First off considering I'm four inches taller than you, wouldn't that make you a pipsqueak? Secondly yes I am replacing Takamichi, at least in this subject I am. Now to answer you Kazumi san, I came from a small village just east of Whales. I was considered a child prodigy in education and after skipping a number of grades I earned a full scholarship to a university where I earned my Bachelor's degree, my Master's degree, and my Doctorate in various subjects. I have unfortunately been living with only my older sister since I was three years old. I say unfortunate because my mother died in childbirth and my father left when I was three on some self-imposed quest. When I was seven there was an incident that has left my sister in a coma ever since. An incident that could have been prevented had I been stronger. So while I focused on my studies I also worked on strengthening myself. I learned Muay Thai and Capoeira, becoming extremely skilled in both, as well as becoming highly proficient in Parkour. Now I find myself with a teaching job here in Japan, enabling me to hopefully pay the medical bills for my sister, as well as finding a way to bring her out of the coma" said Negi making everyone cringe. It amazed them that he could talk so lightly of such a terrible past. It meant one of two things, he was able to move on, or he never cared to begin with.

"My you have had a very interesting life sensei. I can't help but wonder what you have planned for all of us" asked a girl with long pale green hair. It was a few shades lighter than Negi's suit and tied into a low ponytail. She stood at roughly 5'8" with a lightly tanned skin. She had a fox like smile and perpetually closed eyes, though if he looked hard enough Negi swore he could see a glimmer of forest green in her eyes. Her figure was filled out but slim, almost like a models body, with a well-shaped derriere and ample F cup breasts.

"Let me see, you would be student number 20 Kaede Nagase, correct" asked Negi without looking at the roster. Her smile widened a fraction as she nodded.

"Got it in one. So sensei what is the plan" she asked again as some of the others murmured about how he did that without looking.

"Well Kaede san, I have something that I hope will be fun for all of us. The dean approved of me using an experimental method I thought of while studying Japanese. For the first half of the class we will be working on grammar and spelling" he said receiving groans from everyone, making him chuckle.

"Yes I know, the dreaded grammar, but the second half should lighten your spirits. For the second half we will on alternating days be listening to songs in English and translating them to Japanese, and on the off day we will be reading passages aloud from a classic book I think you will all enjoy. It is from an American author known as Michael Crichton, and his two books Jurassic Park, and The Lost World" said Negi making a few of them perk up, but others didn't see the appeal.

"Sensei what is so great about that" asked a girl with dark pink hair tied into two small pigtails at the side, leaving most of her hair free. She stood at a reasonable 5'5" with a well-toned figure. Her waist was slim but with a nice curve to her hips and sizable C cup breasts. Negi reached into his bag and pulled out a thick, white hardcover book. He flipped to a certain page near the beginning and stopped satisfied.

"Ok…Makie Sasaki, student number 16. I'll give a little spoiler by reciting a passage from the book in Japanese. A narrow path wound down the hill. The air was chilly and damp. As they moved lower, the mist around them thinned, and Grant could see the landscape better. It looked, he thought, rather like the Pacific Northwest, the Olympic Peninsula.

"That's right," Regis said. "Primary ecology is deciduous rain forest. Rather different from the vegetation on the mainland, which is more classical rainforest. But this is a microclimate that only occurs at elevation, on the slopes of the northern hills. The majority of the island is tropical."

Down below, they could see the white roofs of large buildings, nestled among the planting. Grant was surprised: the construction was elaborate. They moved lower, out of the mist, and now he could see the full extent of the island, stretching away to the south. As Regis had said, it was mostly covered in tropical rainforest.

To the south, rising above the palm trees, Grant saw a single trunk with no leaves at all, just a big curving stump. Then the stump moved, and twisted around to face the new arrivals. Grant realized that he was not seeing a tree at all.

He was looking at the graceful, curving neck of an enormous creature, rising fifty feet into the air.

He was looking at a dinosaur" recited Negi as he watched them with hidden amusement. His class, with the exception of one, was listening to his every word with baited breath. They were enraptured waiting for him to continue, excitement shining in their eyes, now to move in for the kill.

"But I guess if you don't like the idea I can always scrap it and use the full off days for grammar" said Negi only to be hit with a wall of sound. His entire class sans one was screaming negatives, begging him to keep his original plan.

"WAIT, please sensei I take it back. Just hearing you read that aloud was…unbelievable. If that was only one passage and so close to the beginning I can't wait to start it and see what the rest of the book is like" said Makie in a rush hoping she didn't blow it for the rest of the class.

"I think I can let it slide this once" joked Negi as there was a knock on the door. He raised a brow and gave the ok to enter. Much to his displeasure it was Takamichi with several boxes on a handcart. He wheeled it in and set it in front of the desk. Several of the students could see that Negi was just holding in his anger, even though he hid it extremely well, and they could see it all directed at Takamichi. The rest of them could notice a very subtle change in demeanor from light and airy to stiff and ridged.

"Negi san, these just came in for you. I noticed them by the front door and decided to bring them in myself. I'm curious what you would need in bulk so soon" said Takamichi lightly, trying to ease the tension between the two of them.

"Thank you Takamichi. As for what these are…this is an integral part of my lesson plan" said Negi as he opened the top box and smirked at seeing them, just what he had ordered. Thirty-one copies of brand new hardcover Jurassic Park. All of the books were the same, white cover with imprinted red foliage and part of a black Tyrannosaurus fossil. He started calling names by the student number, and handing out the copies. When he got to Asuna she completely ignored him and went straight to babbling to Takamichi. Negi shook his head in disgust and skipped her over for now. Takamichi tried to back out sheepishly but Asuna would not let it go. By the time there was only one book left everyone was getting annoyed with the orange haired girl.

"Kagurazaka san, please sit down and stop disrupting class. I let you speak to Takamichi for a time because I can see you were fond of him as a teacher, but he needs to go teach his own class" said Negi irritated. Asuna barely gave him a glance before saying something she really shouldn't have.

"Oh just shut up. Takahata sensei is the best, he should have stayed with this class and you should have gone to where ever they sent him. Besides you're probably just a worthless baka compared to him" she said looking at Negi dead on. One could feel the temperature of the room literally start to drop to sub-zero.

"Student number 29 Ayaka Yukihiro, please mind the class while Takamichi and I take Kagurazaka san to the dean. It appears I need to make an example to show that I AM a teacher, and I at least deserve to be shown a courtesy respect" said Negi as he gripped Asuna by the arm and started dragging her with a flinching Takamichi following behind. The rest of the class was silent as the dead for a few moments until chatter broke out once again.

"Oh my god, I can't believe Asuna just did that"

"I knew she was on the lower end of the class, but I never expected such blatant disrespect to a teacher"

"She just insulted him right in front of Takahata sensei. I never would have thought"

"She really crossed the line there. I hope grandfather isn't too hard on her…oh who am I kidding. Gramps detests blatant disrespect, Asuna has just cooked her goose" and so on. Only nine students were completely silent. Kaede had a look of consternation on her face like there was a problem she couldn't solve herself.

'Negi sensei appears to dislike Takahata sensei a great deal. What could have happened between those two…"When I was seven there was an incident that has left my sister in a coma ever since. An incident that could have been prevented had I been stronger." No could it really be that simple? I'll have to ask Takahata sensei if it's true' she thought to herself a course of action set. Another of the students, one Mana Tatsumiya, had other thoughts as to how she could use this to her advantage.

'So Negi sensei and Takahata sensei have some bad blood between them. Perfect, I can use that to make some cash. I wonder how much Negi sensei would pay to have Takahata sensei removed from the campus' she thought her face remaining emotionless. Two of the Students known as Nodoka Miyazaki and Yue Ayase had identical thoughts on the subject.

'What could have made Negi sensei so hostile to Takahata sensei'. Another student Chachamaru Rakuso had very different thoughts.

'I wonder what master wants for dinner tonight' were her thoughts. Zazie Rainyday had thoughts all her own.

'Negi sensei is filled with such confliction. He is overflowing with love, yet whenever Takahata comes around his hatred boils over. I must observe and help him' she thought. Chachamarus' master however had thoughts on a different subject matter.

'Finally, the son of the Thousand Master, now all I need is his blood and I can be free of this horrendous place. Now…how to break him' she mused. Chisame and Ku Fei had very similar thoughts.

'Takahata sensei must have something to do with why Negi sensei's' sister is in a coma. He must have done something horrendous/terrible' they thought.

"Alright let's all settle down, before Negi sensei comes back. Think about how pissed he was at Asuna, and lets all just calmly discuss this. If we aren't rowdy when he returns he might, and I stress might, read more of the book to us. Or he might have us start to read it ourselves, either way we get to start it" said Ayaka in an attempt to bring order to everything. Most of them listened, wanting to get started on the novel to see what it was like.

"So what do you think made Asuna snap like that" asked Haruna Saotome. Normally Asuna would be at the very least civil to a teacher, but she didn't to Negi.

"Perhaps it was a combination of the facts that he is our age, he replaced Takahata sensei, and when Takahata sensei was here he was trying to separate them, figuratively speaking of course" supplied the resident genius Chao Lingshen. Some of them began nodding as they mulled it over. It was after all a plausible theory. They then changed to Negis' sudden change of mood when Takahata entered the room. It was like seeing the difference between the light and dark sides of the moon.

"It could be a comparison to another person. Some people believe that since they are their own person they should be judged as themselves and not looked upon as inadequate because another person did such and such" said Satomi Hakase supplying one theory.

"Or Maybe Negi sensei just doesn't like being compared to Takahata sensei. We don't know if they know each other, though it seems that way with how Negi sensei was addressing him. If Takahata sensei did something in the past that hurt Negi sensei, or Takahata sensei did something Negi sensei sees as unforgivable, it would be like saying Negi sensei did something even worse, or Negi sensei IS worse, which would be very insulting" said Yue in her usual deadpan making people stop and stare at her like she had two heads.

"…when the hell did you get that intelligent" asked Kakizaki Misa with wide eyes. The rest of the class nodded their heads in agreement.

"I believe she was always this intelligent, however due to a lack of interest in studying her grades have suffered making her remain in the bottom portion of the class. However of she actually applied herself she could probably be in the top ten members of the class" said a voice behind them making some nod in agreement until they recognize the voice. They all whipped their heads around to see a smirking Negi sitting on his desk with his legs crossed. They all blushed in embaressment as he caught them discussing his private life as if it were public property.

"Sorry sensei, we didn't mean to pry like that. We only wanted to speculate on what made you change when Takahata sensei came in" said Ayaka downtrodden. She was hoping she didn't make a bad impression and ruin her chances at being close to Negi.

"I have no problems with speculation, just so long as you don't take things out of context or proportion I don't mind. However if you want an explanation…all you have to do is ask" he said making them face vault.

"So what is up with you and Takahata sensei, Negi sensei" asked Satsuki Yotsuba curiously.

"Well, it goes back to me being left with my sister at age three. Takamichi was a friend of my fathers and he was asked to watch over us. Things were fine for four years, but Takamichi decided that he needed to be somewhere else for the time being, and left. The very next day my village was attacked by a large group of bandits. Many people died, and many more were left in comas similar to my sister. I tried fighting them off, but I was only seven and I didn't have the strength to save anyone. By a lucky chance a unit of soldiers was passing through and removed the bandits. But things were still not good. They left soon after, leaving the cleanup and healing to us. When it was all said and done, 30% of the village was dead, either from the initial onslaught or dying from wounds, another 20% was left in a coma, and around 100 children were left orphans myself included. While you may not see how Takamichi could have played a part in stopping this I'll explain further. You see he was in charge of the northern watchtower, and he left without telling anyone. No one was sent in to keep an eye during his shift since they all thought he was there. Had he been there we would have been alerted and the gates could have been closed so no one could enter. Every death and injury, every orphaned child, every parent left to grieve for their lost child, is the direct result of Takamichi abandoning his post. When he returned a year later, he acted as if he had only been gone for a few hours. He didn't even know what his actions caused. I was mad enough at him for how he failed and hurt my sister and me, but that he hurt the entire village, my anger turned to hatred. Pure and simple I both hate him and hold absolutely no trust in him. His failure to look after and protect us, cost me having my sister for more than eight years, and tore my innocence away at only seven. It was his fault that this *opens shirt to show his chest* happened to an innocent child" he said tears of anger running down his face. At first everyone blushed at seeing his well defined and muscled torso, but they soon paled at seeing what he wanted to show them. His entire torso was riddled with scars. Depressed skin, burn marks, huge patches of milky white scar tissue. It looked like he had been tortured, vary violently. They were sure that if he showed them his back it would be just as bad, if not worse, than his chest.

"Sensei…did those bandits…are all those because" started Ayaka, unable to ask her question as Negi rebuttoned his shirt.

"Yes Ayaka san. The doctors said I was extremely lucky to be alive, and with very little adverse effects. I was one of the 150 children left alive after the bandits were forced out" said Negi just as the bell to end class rang. He smiled sadly at the girls and said one thing as he dismissed them.

"Pity not the child of pain, for his spirit is stronger than the man of pleasure, and he shall prove to the world that he can be just as prosperous." It sounded almost like a bible verse, but none of them had ever heard one like that. They filed out of the room at an almost depressed pace, their minds heavy with what they learned from the new teacher, and not just on the subject he was teaching.

...

(Several hours later)

"Ok that meeting after classes took forever. Konoemon san really likes to be through on those things. Oh I cannot wait to show those fools just how effective my method will be. Humph they don't know the true meaning of it. Oh isn't that a student from my class…ah student number 27 Nodoka Miyazaki. My she has a lot of books that is dangerous" said Negi as he observed her walking to the stairs with a pile of roughly 15 books. He decided to help her, however before he could make it more than seven steps she tripped and fell sideways from the top of the stairs.

'OH SHIT, SHE'LL DIE FROM THAT HEIGHT LANDING THAT WAY' he shouted in his mind and bolted as quickly as he could. She let out an ear piercing shriek as she fell. Negi reached her and slid feet first under just in time to catch her in his arms bridal style. His foot crashed into the wall with marginal force spider web cracks forming from the point of impact. From behind the fountain near them two people came rushing out. One was Asuna Kagurazaka and the other was a girl of Chinese descent. She was around 5'5" with shoulder length blond hair tied into two messy ponytails on the side. Her skin was nicely tanned and her eyes were a deep emerald green. She had a decently developed figure with a nice curve to her hips a small waist and large C to a small D cup breasts. Negi stood up still holding Nodoka in his arms bridal style while wincing as he set his right foot on the ground, the foot that impacted the wall.

"Kagurazaka san, Ku Fei san, I need one of you to show me to the infirmary so I can get Nodoka san looked after" he said as he looked at her with worry. He also couldn't help but take in all her features. Her deep purple hair usually covered the upper half of her face but now it was brushed to the side revealing a very attractive girl. Her eyes were half opened showing eyes the same shade of purple as her hair. Her skin was alabaster pale and from what he could feel soft as silk, Were she standing she would reach about 5'3", with a nicely developed set of curves, with a small waist noticeable curve to her hips and mid C cup breasts.

"Sorry I have other things I have to do" said Asuna sarcastically as she walked away not even giving a backwards glance at her classmates and teacher.

"Negi…sensei" said a small voice from Negis arms. He looked down to see Nodaka stirring. He smiled as she fully woke up and set her on her feet.

"That was quite the spill you had Nodaka san. It was lucky I was there to catch you or we might have needed an ambulance" said Negi with a chuckle as Nodaka winced. She bowed politely and hurried away after picking up her books.

"Don't worry sensei it's not you, she just has Androphobia aru" said Ku Fei sadly.

"Ah, I wish I could help her. I guess only time will see if she can warm up to me, or I will just be another object of fear" said Negi just as sadly.

"So sensei where are you staying aru" asked Ku Fei trying to lighten the mood.

"Well as of this moment, nowhere. The teacher dorms are all full, and I don't know anyone who would put up with me for too long" said Negi with a grin plastered on his face. He found the whole situation hilarious.

"You can bunk with me aru. I don't have a roommate so some company would be nice aru" she said happily as Negi thought it over and nodded.

"Thank you Ku Fei san. I greatly appreciate your offer" said Negi happily.

"Great! Come on sensei I have something I want to show you aru" shouted an ecstatic Ku Fei as she grabbed Negi and started dragging him away.

Whoo that was a doozy. It is rare to see me write a chapter of this length, though for this fic it will probably become common place. Now as for the harem Negi will have I'm debating on it starting between three girls. I'll either have it start with Ku Fei, Kaede, or Kazumi. Whomever I start with will be the first girl Negi creates a Pactio with, during the Eva arc. Now as for all the other girls in the harem, I decided to pair him up with girls you don't often see a pairing for. So many are in the NegiXAsuna category it disturbs me. I know in the Anime and Manga she gets nicer as she goes along, but it just seems like too much at the beginning. I mean I can understand a dislike of kids, but to act the way she did was going a little too far. But I digress, this harem has girls that will be infinitely more useful than Asuna (whom you may have noticed in this fic is a lot meaner) despite her magical immunity. I guess that is all I have to say, please review or flame, ja ne.
